Too much porn/masturbation cause ED?

[maxcheang]

Hi I m a 28 year old and suffer some degree of ED in recent. I start masturbated since I m 19 and usually use porn as a form of visual stimiulation. I have observed that I have lost the ability to maintain erect during intercource or I only get weak erection. My question is: does masturbation in association with porn will "exhaust" my interest towards sex and create a negative impact on my ability to get aroused in real sex? I m worried cause I think I m still young to have physical cause  for ED. Any thought?

18 days in again! The trick for me is to keep busy and limit computer usage. It's the summer, which is great as I've been out more, made more plans, etc.

I would like add that I have been dealing with this problem on and off since I was 30 , the 1st time it happen I was so shocked I was with the woman who would become my 2nd wife , for medical reasons she did not get wet down below so we used so old lube that I had from past , at the time I didnt know that it was the lube until years later that cause the problem, we substained from sex went to doctors and I recouped , years later I was divorced from the 2nd wife and had a new gf, she was a teacher  and sold sexual adds on the side .
She would try them out on me , one such product was a gag reflex lube for oral and soon as it touched my penis and she began to perform on me I lost my hard on , for 2 days it was like that , the same as when I was with my 2nd wife .
My point is it may not just be porn and masterbation, it could also be what you use to J.O. with , in my cause it was a comboof both I had stopped using certain lubes and lotions and began to use my on saliva to J.O. with the difference with porn and masterbation and lubes, are the lubes caused my penis to be inflammed , which looked as if it shrank .
Most recently I have had the same problems as most of the men here and I know its now PMO thing now , I use tohave sex with my now gf all the time but now its only on the weekend  since we live far away from each other now so I would find my J.O. to porn more until I would see here but the problem is that when I spend the weekend with her I can go for hrs with her but once I came the next day I would have a hard time getting it up .
I also noticed that when I would look at porn I would need more extreme images to stay hard.
My porn watching manly was large natural breast porn, seeing that it would remind me of my gf , but now to get of I look at things that would normally turn me off and once I come I have to turn the porn off because it made me sick to look .
So in closing to all watch what you use to J.O. with also , I have read in other forums where this has happen to other men besides myself and dont let porn over take your relationships.
I have not J.O. or looked at porn in 4wks now and I feel morning wood again and get 75% of my erections now

I think you must keep yourself away of visual sexual excitation which may lead to masturbation without a real sexual act. It may not be harmful like porn but I think It is about over-stimulation. To stop porn you have to stop anything which may lead to it. For me Self-control is not enough , you need to build a big barrier between you and porn, and this is very difficult with over-stimulation

I would not do anything like fantasizing or going to strip clubs.
This will just encourage sexual problematic issues.  Porn, strip clubs, sex shows, all that stuff just makes it more difficult to have a normal relationship.
Read the excellent book "Out of the Shadows".  Its very very enlightening.

In my opinion....

1) You should stay away from sexual fantasies. It travels the same brain pathway as masturbating to porn would do. If you get these sexual fantasies which normally brings a soft/hard erection and it makes you think about masturbating to it, definitely restrain yourself from sexual fantasies. I know it is hard to cut off all fantasies but as soon as you realize you are fantasizing try to think of something else.

2) Going to strip clubs is fine to me. At a strip club you are interracting with women and you are not pulling out your penis ready to masturbate. I call it the opportunity to practice your socialization skills. The challenge with going to strip clubs though is that you go back home horny and thinking about sex. It may draw you back to watching some porn before you go to bed. If you have good self-control, you can go to the strip club, come home and take a shower and go to bed WITHOUT porn/masturbation.
